For both always-blind people and acquired-blindness people.
This was in the same PBS special as the tactile-visual results.
Apparently the brain is rather plastic in adapting other parts.
Large Hadron Collider, Syntoptic Telescope Survey, Seismic Data Acquisition, Genome Decoding all use as much data capacity that exits. That now measures in the terabytes-per-day rate. Video tapes now have that capacity.
Especially if the cellphone is linnked to web account ot monitor usage and upload/download images.
I read of case where the victim put some images of unkonw people into MySpace and got the people recognized.
Thats the general conclusion in sports and I think for cognitive skills too. If I want to improve my Chinese I read more Chinese etc. Learing more languages helps in over all language learning, but not substantially for a specific language.
Then companies must institute to converse policty too: "the company cannot contact you using a electronic device outside of regular work hours." No phoning, email, computers...
Soem thought the first nuclear test would ignite the Earth's atmosphere starting a chain reaction combusting all the Oxygen with the Nitrogen. Only a little of this happens in actual tests and meteorite entries.
I write computer applications for the energy industry. We see the exact same thing there too. When times are good money-seeking students flock to the industry. They do the work, but dont make the great discoveries beacause their heart isnt really in it. Same with computers.
Theres evidence on the moon and Mars of massive meteor impacts up to 3.9 billion years ago, or a half billion years after planet formation. This means Earth and Mars may not have been habitable for life until then. Rocks as old 4.28 billion years could disprove or attenuate this meteor event.
I was reading in Physics Today about a 19th century female astronmer at one of the New England observator who used to be a "computer" or clerk than measured telescopic photo plates. She discovered an asteroid, devrived a version of the Hersprung-Ressuel star evolution table, etc. Other "computers" derived the books of algorithms, ballistic trajectories, etc. These were used well into World War II and the early day of vacuum-tube computers. Then they wired the computer gates like telephone operators to implement calculations. Richard Feynman talks about a room of female computer clerks who tediously executed a finite differnce calculation to predict atom bomb effects.
The founders looked like slobs at the Android roll-out yesterday. Steve Jobs also dresses informally, yet manages to look classy. Cant play grad-students forever, boys.
Now UNIX took the exact opposite tack to IBM OS verbose error messages and was terse beyond belief. The original UNIX text editor command "ed" (shortened to "e" in some systems) just typed a question mark at you if you did something wrong. Usually by context you knew what error you made. I think this was because the earliest UNIX's may have worked on teletypes and no one wants to wait ten seconds for a line message to be typed out. I recall some later versions of the program were polluted with the less elegant double question mark error message, but I forget what that stood for.
Old timers will recognize "360" not as a MSFT game machine but arguably the most financially successful operating system - the IBM mainframe. ABEND is short for "Abnormal end". If had a line printer on your computer you'd get a print of the ENTIRE contents of registers and core memory. From the Program Instruction Address register you figure out which memory instruction you executing and the registers and core memory contents it was operating on. It was straightforward debugging, but tedious. As core memory reached 16K or 64K bytes, many forests worth of printouts were sacrificed in the name of poor programming.
MicroSoft has had four winners over its history- languages, DOS, Windows, and Office- but no home runs in the last decade.
Google has had one big winner- its ad program. GMail-WebOffice is poised to make money. Video(UTube) ahs been a huge capital sink so far.

The field may fdrop to about a third intentisty at most. This has been measured in volcanic rocks in Oregon for the last flip.

Each generation is more integrated with computing than the previous.
Shes worked through them and moved on.

Stoned musings.

It goes about 30 degrees F below dry ice temperature in middle of the night.
Now I know why.

For a virtual product.
Have they've been reading MicroSoft's playbook or something?
Kind of expected, isnt it?

Hum, I think we have a suspect ...

Moving from PDPs to VAXen. Doesnt seem all that long ago.
About 13, 14 years for each new 1000x level.
Sniffle. Sniffle.
They'll have to invent new ways to steal, eh, earn money.
